Who is Daisy?

As mentioned in my introductory post Daisy is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Chesapeake’s are a large-breed hunting, sport and retriever dog, who are known for being loyal, happy, protective, and dominant dogs. Before Daisy we had a Chessie, named Princess Analiese commonly known as Kona who we were fortunate enough to have in the family for over thirteen years! Kona was an extremely loyal and protective dog who was extremely happy when swimming or when she was eating berries off our shrubs in the garden. Kona was extremely loyal and did this great big Chesapeake smile that looks quite terrifying but is actually how Chessie’s show their excitement about seeing you. Kona is actually Daisy’s great great aunt, can you see the resemblance?

WEEK THREE REFLECTION

In this class we delved into the topic of photo editing, although I know how to use photoshop quite proficiently I found this class extremely interesting and we were told of different platforms that we could use as an alternative to adobe photoshop. I often use either Photoshop or Procreate for any photo editing that I wish to do so I was quite out of my element when we then proceeded to edit the iconic sitting Bernie image onto various backgrounds using powerpoint. As mentioned, I found this difficult because I have never used powerpoint before. While I am not the biggest fan of using the Powerpoint platform I understand that it is a great way to create items to use in the classroom. I found it very interesting to see what my peers created with their sitting Bernie images, while I was excited to see so many of my peers thrive with the powerpoint photo editing I was also quite glad to see that I was not the only one who was having a little bit of a difficult time.

Week Two Reflection

During our class this week (19/01/2021) my group delved into the topic of Public Domain. I already had some understanding of how Copy Right and Public Domain worked I found it extremely interesting to look at it from an educators point of view. The resource we were encouraged to check out – https://archive.org/ includes a multitude of  free resources for students to access and teachers to add to their teaching toolkit. While I doubt I will be using F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby when I work with primary students the fact that the story is now Public Domain means that I can remix it (and various other stories) to suit my audience.

My peers in the class also covered other topics such as; Fair Dealing, Creative Commons, Open Educational Resources, and more. All of which were quite new to me as I have not previously had the right resources to explore such topics before.

Meet Daisy

Daisy is my three month old Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy, I will be using my free inquiry to delve into techniques and methods that will help me train Daisy. The end goal is to teach Daisy how to sit, lay down, shake, and fetch, hopefully without needing to constantly coax her with food.

Week One Reflection

After this first week I already feel as if I have a better understanding of how technology/social media can be useful for teachers. I don’t have very much experience with incorporating technology in my teaching practices, or have I had very much experience seeing technology being used by my previous teachers. I am excited to further my understanding of the educational uses of technology as well as the way that it can connect me to teaching communities in a way that can help my future students!
